Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these is NOT a name Buttercup calls Westley during the movie?

Answer: my one true love

She calls Westley a killer when he is in his Dread Pirate Roberts guise: "I have loved more deeply than a killer like yourself could ever dream.' (Thanks to Camby for correction notice, she does indeed call him 'darling' and this has now been rectified.)

2. Vizzini refers to three great philosophers as 'morons'. These are Plato, Socrates and which other?

Answer: Aristotle

Vizzini is played by Wallace Shawn who also appeared alongside Alicia Silverstone in 'Clueless' as her teacher, Mr. Hall.

3. Finish this insult directed by Westley at Prince Humperdinck, 'Your ____ fiance.'

Answer: pig

Westley calls him this speaking to Buttercup after they have fallen down the mountain and are just about to escape into the Fireswamp. I love Westley's insults!

4. What prompts Valerie to call Miracle Max a liar?

Answer: He implies that Westley is dead due to cheating at cards

Billy Crystal is fantastic as Miracle Max in this film, and Carol Kane as the long-suffering Valerie.

5. What is the first item Westley says that Humperdinck will lose if they 'fight to the pain'?

Answer: his feet

Westley says that Humperdinck will first lose his feet below the ankles, then his hands at the wrists, then his nose, then his left eye followed by his right, but he would let him keep his ears so he could hear all the taunts and shrieks of horror when people look at him. The Prince would 'wallow in freakish misery forever'. Nasty!

6. Finish this insult from Westley to Prince Humperdinck, "You _______-faced buffoon."

Answer: warthog

This is apparently the first time a man had dared insult Prince Humperdinck. Westley assures him it won't be the last.

7. How does Fezzik jog the Albino's memory?

Answer: By hitting him very hard on the head

The Albino is played by Mel Smith of 'Not The Nine O'Clock News' fame. After being thumped in the middle of his skull, the Albino falls over dead. Fezzik apologizes for 'jogging' him so hard.

8. What does the Grandfather tell the Grandson to do after he interrupts him during the story? Finish this quote; "You're very smart. Now, ___________!"

Answer: shut up!

The Grandfather is played by Peter Falk of 'Columbo'. The Grandson is a very young Fred Savage from 'The Wonder Years'. (Thanx to Minister for info!) He also recently appeared as 'The Mole' in 'Austin Powers: Goldmember'. He also made a cameo in a 'Boy Meets World' episode alongside his brother.

9. In Buttercup's dream, the old hag calls her, among other things, the "Queen of Refuse".

Answer: True

In Buttercup's nightmare, she is accused of having true love in her hands, but by marrying another she is treating true love like garbage. Bit harsh, maybe?

10. The final question. Not following my title, but I'm putting it on because I like the actor! Which of these films has Cary Elwes NOT been in?

Answer: Dracula: Dead And Loving It

Cary Elwes appeared in the 1992 version of 'Dracula', not 'Dracula: Dead And Loving It'. He played the title role in 'Robin Hood: Men In Tights', the nasty opposing tornado-chaser in 'Twister' (who incidentally gets killed) and the also-quite-nasty but-some-would-say-not-as-nasty(in tribute to RobinHood3000)-opposing stepfather-type-character in 'Liar Liar'.
